Summary

I suggest to leave out the starting times, match numbers, quarter scores and stats to the respective tournament articles since this'll get pretty long. --Howard the Duck 07:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest we eliminate this article, or most of the content in it, altogether. If you compare it to the article on Football at the 2008 Games (and its separate articles on the Men's and Women's tournaments), it is far more redundant. MrArticleOne (talk) 01:35, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who says that?

Now, July 20th at 20:30 (CEST) who has decided which teams will be the Qualified A, B and C for the Men Olympic Tournament??? In the official FIBA web site is nothing about wroten yet! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.214.183.40 (talk) 18:31, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

one point for losing a game?

i checked the FIBA site and they do actually give 1 point to losers, and 2 to the winners of a match... That sure seems bizarre to me... not that it makes much sense having points to begin with, the way i see it. jonosphere (talk) 19:04, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's because you get 0 points if you lose by forfeit. MrArticleOne (talk) 19:44, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

image

The article Volleyball at the 2008 Summer Olympics uses a similar infobox as basketball, and recently the image in the infobox of the Beijing Games was removed, and a note was added to the infobox template that the official games image should not be used. Basketball at the Olympics still use it. Don't know if it's best to remove the image from the basketball infobox, or re-add the image to the volleyball infobox.Bib (talk) 20:27, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed before I read this comment. Be 'bold and choose whichever. IMO, it should be removed since the Official Games logo is non-free. It should only be used on the Summer Olympics and the Dancing Emblem articles. --haha169 (talk) 06:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Great reply. Thanks. Bib (talk) 08:32, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Colors Error?

I believe that someone has jumped ahead in highlighting teams that have been eliminated or advanced to the next round. For instance, Argentina has only played 2 games thus far and has not been eliminated yet they are already highlighted in red. If the tournament ended today they would be out, but this could be confusing to people so someone needs to update this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.222.172.114 (talk) 14:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree...someone has jumped the gun.
